Biggest Concerns Regarding Integration and Supplemental Evidence (Integration Concern #1)

Overall, the biggest concern from employers is that employees will resent the accommodations given to those with disabilities, but research proves otherwise.

Providing accommodations is shown to improve interactions between employees, increase company morale, promote productivity and commitment, decrease turnover, and signal organizational support which further perpetuates positive work experiences including greater commitment and job performance. Additionally, seeing the effectiveness of accommodations for employees with disabilities can give the impression to all employees that the company has genuine care for its workers. Employees with disabilities can also have a positive effect on organizational attitudes. Such employees show a stronger commitment to their jobs, which can promote such dedication by others. The disclosure of an “invisible” disability can serve to show other coworkers that they trust them enough to share such personal information.
